XLIB FUNCTIONS XrmMergeDatabases(3x11)
NAME
XrmMergeDatabases, XrmCombineDatabase, XrmCombineFileData-
base - merge resource databases
SYNTAXcc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]
void XrmMergeDatabases(XrmDatabase source_db, XrmDatabase
*target_db);
void XrmCombineDatabase(XrmDatabase source_db, XrmDatabase
*target_db, Bool override);
Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(char *filename, XrmDatabase*target_db, Bool override);
ARGUMENTSsource_db Specifies the resource database that is to be
merged into the target database.target_db Specifies the resource database into which the
source database is to be merged. filename Specifies the resource database file name. override Specifies whether source entries override target ones.DESCRIPTION
Calling the XrmMergeDatabases function is equivalent to cal-
ling the XrmCombineDatabase function with an override argu-
ment of True. The XrmCombineDatabase function merges the contents of one database into another. If the same specifier is used for anentry in both databases, the entry in the source_db will
replace the entry in the target_db if override is True; oth-
erwise, the entry in source_db is discarded. If target_db
contains NULL, XrmCombineDatabase simply stores source_db in
it. Otherwise, source_db is destroyed by the merge, but the
database pointed to by target_db is not destroyed. The
database entries are merged without changing values or types, regardless of the locales of the databases. The locale of the target database is not modified. The XrmCombineFileDatabase function merges the contents of a resource file into a database. If the same specifier is used for an entry in both the file and the database, the entry in the file will replace the entry in the database ifoverride is True; otherwise, the entry in the file is dis-
carded. The file is parsed in the current locale. If the file cannot be read, a zero status is returned; otherwise, a X Version 11 Last change: libX11 1.3.5 1XLIB FUNCTIONS XrmMergeDatabases(3x11)
nonzero status is returned. If target_db contains NULL,
XrmCombineFileDatabase creates and returns a new database toit. Otherwise, the database pointed to by target_db is not
destroyed by the merge. The database entries are merged without changing values or types, regardless of the locale of the database. The locale of the target database is not modified.SEE ALSO
